SHELVING.

Specification of Letters Patent. Pat t d J 22 1920.

Application filed March s, 1920. Serial No. 367,137.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, HnnnAN A- \VIEMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shelving, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates improvements in store furniture and has particular reference to shelving for self service stores.

In stores of this style of service it is desirable that the goods to be displayed are conveniently accessible for inspection and purchase and it is the principal object of my invention to provide an arrangement of shelves which will obviate the necessity of the purchaser having to stoop or bend over in order to inspect the goods, such shelving being also so arranged that it may be disassembled if desired when moving.

My invention will be more fully under stood from the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, in which- Figure 1 is a top or plan view of the.

shelving arranged in a store building, and embodying the main features of my invention.

I Fig. 2 is a cross sectional View taken on line 22, Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view of a portion of the frame upon which the shelves are supported, and

Fig. a is a detai spective of the shelving and frame.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 represents the walls of a store building around which and in the center are to new and useful.

led sectional view in perplaced the shelving 2, so that the goods on the topmost shelf 3 are within easy reach of the purchaser and the lowermost shelf l may also be reachedwithout steeping.

The shelves containing the goods 4 are carried in a frame 5 which is inclined backward as shown in the drawings, the shelving 1n the center of the store comprising two sections bolted together at the top as at 6, Fig. 3, only one section being used at the walls.

The shelving is supported in a recess 7 in a base piece 8 and resting upon the top of the shelving in the crotch formed by the two center sections is a piece 9 over and u on which rests the top of the shelving 10. l he top piece 10 is detachable as are also the pieces 9--9.

Underneath the shelvin are arranged drawers 11 resting uponthe rollers 12 in which drawers are kept surplus stock, the drawers in the center of the store extending from side to side of the shelving frame and may be pulled out from either side. A stop pin 13 is placed in the frame holding the drawers so that when pulled outward the pin will prevent their coming entirely out.

Having thus described the nature and objects of my invention what I claim as new i and. desire to secure by Letters Patent is- A store shelving comprising a frame in two sections and containing inclined shelves, said sections supported upon a base containing drawers and tilted backward and detachably connected together attheir upper ends and a removable platform upon the top. of the sections.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.

HERMAN A. \VIEMAN
